I’m not sure how common it is, but some nonbinary Spanish speakers use -e (latine, no binarie, etc) as a way to make Spanish gender neutral.

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah and elle for gender neutral pronouns, however almost nobody accepts these "because it sounds weird"

[–] jormaig@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but RAE is not happy with this solution. 😅 I think at some point they'll come with their own proposal. For now I think that they emphasize non-gendered language instead of converting gendered words to non-gendered.
